home is where the heart is

I've been stepping over this heart on the front doorstep for a few rainy weeks now. Isn't this a nice welcome home?

Here's the mama pig you saw in process on my messy project-covered kitchen table a while back. She has two piglets, but they're a little shy in this photo. They've gone to live at Chickadee Tree with Miss M. She sent me a nice picture of them, but how to get it from e-mail to blog...?

And here's a belated birthday present I made for a very special friend who recently turned 6 years old. Her eyes are so blue and full of sparkle.

and yes, just in case you were wondering, it is raining right now.
